In a computer-implemented method embodiment of the present invention, a self-driving vehicle (SDV) is steered onto a particular tire path on a roadway based on past taken tire paths. One or more processors determine a pattern of tire path usage by vehicles on a roadway. Based on this previous tire path usage, the processor(s) direct an SDV on-board computer on an SDV to pick at least one second tire path for the SDV to drive thereon based on the pattern of tire path usage by the vehicles on the roadway.
